While musician Rob Cantor did in fact pen the original song “Perfect,” he had no hand whatsoever in the actual impressions, which included Jack Black, Gollum, Gwen Stefani, and Shakira.

Cantor revealed the news this afternoon along with the above “making of” video which details all the work — and there was a lot — that went into the viral gimmick.

Duh! If it’s on the internet, you have to assume it’s fake and gay. To not do so is blind ignorance which should be reserved for good friends that steal from you, significant others who cheat on you, or just your personal sense of self worth.
